| Policy Interpretation All the eligibility criteria in (a), (b), and (c) must be met before an employee can be defined as a “first aid attendant”. A “first aid attendant” is an employee engaged in medical support activities. A first aid attendant is a person with an Occupational First Aid Certificate (Level l, 2, or 3), issued by the Workers’ Compensation Board. These certificates are not the same as other first aid designations, such as Safety First Aid. Section 44(d) of the Regulation identifies when a “first aid attendant” is excluded from overtime pay under section 40 of the Act. See also Appendix 3 - Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Occupations - Hourly Rate of Pay.
